Knee Replacement
Golden Steps
Surgery Guide
Focus on Rapid Recovery
The medial-pivot designed to allow normal motion and natural function by replicating the native structure of the knee and providing a highly-conforming surface on the medial side.
GoldenSteps has been shown in simulated clinical testing to reduce the release of these metal ions, and builds upon the same medial-pivot legacy of 95% patient satisfaction with 98.8% survivorship at 17 years.

Clinically Successful Design
15 Years of Excellent Outcome Data
Challenging this traditional axiom of knee kinematics, pioneers in the field, such as J. David Blaha, MD, Mr. Michael Freeman, MD, Richard Komistek, PhD, and Vera Pinskerova, PhD, provided kinematic and radiographic evidence that supported medial-pivoting kinematics and stability of the knee. This evidence demonstrated that the normal knee exhibits a fixed flexion-extension axis with a stable medial compartment and mobile lateral compartment.

Unique Design Features
Provides a proven and unique solution to problems such as instability, anterior knee pain, and functional limitations through its functionally-restorative design that replicates the natural stability and motion of the knee.
